Title
I-95, Providence Civic Center, Capital Center (1983)
Description
Here we see how the former Chinese Wall of train tracks had prevented the downtown development from reaching the capital. The center of the city is essentially a parking lot along the parameter of the downtown financial district. What we see is the future development of the Capital Center.
